-To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that 1, JOHN G. BAUER, a citi- I zen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Varsaw, inthe county of Wyomingand State of NewYork, have invented certion of the box.

tain new and useful Improvements in Processesfor Forming Boxes, of whichthe following is a specification, reference being had therein to theaccompanying drawing.

This invention relates to tobacco boxes and has for its principal objectthe production of a simple and eflicient. tobacco box -which is formedentirely of paper, thereby greatly cheapening the construction and,

manufacture ofthe device.

Another object ofthis invention is the production of a simple andefficient process for forming or manufacturing the box.

\Vitli these and other objects in view this invention consists ofcertain novel constructions, combinations and arrangements of parts, aswill be hereinafter fully described and claimed. In the accompanyingdrawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the tobacco box, in itscomplete condition.

Fig. 2 is a vertical section therethrough,

' showing the manner of hinging the top and forming the several layersof the box.-

Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the upper por- Fig. l is a side elevationof the upper portion of the box, showing the cover in an open position.

Fig. '5 is a vertical section through the box, taken at right angles tothat shown in- Fig. 2.

. Fig. 6 isadeta'il perspective of a portion of the box, showing thestrips in their initial wrapping.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of another form of'box produced by the sameprocess,

as-that used in connection with making the tobacco box.

Fig. 8 is a detail perspective of the razor box in its initial form ofmaking.

Fig. 9 is a transverse sectional view taken through one end of therazorfibox, prior to the saine being wrapped.

Fig. 10-is a longitudinal-section through I the razor boxinits completedcondition.

Fig. 11 is a detail perspective of one of the end'strips used upon-therazor box.

Fig. 12 is-a detail perspective ofone end of the tobacco box showing thesame in its initial wrapping, prior to the wrapper being entirely woundaround the same.

By referring to the accompanying drawings, by numerals, it will be seenthat 1 designates the body of the box, which is provided with a hingedcover 2,'at the upper end thereof. In forming the box, a suitablefilling 'or other solid medium is placed within the interior of the boxto form a core,

and a stiff layer of card-board 3 is wrapped the box, and the end strips4. are then placed so as to abut against the ends of the core. A

fixed to the core, and is then wound for one convolution around the box,whereupon adheslve strips 6 are wound over or glued to the end stripshaving their ends 7 overhanging the wrapper strlp, to constitute aneflicient seal forthe respective ends of the box; A

around the core, to form the block filler, for

7 suitable sheet of wrapping paper is glued or wrapper sheet is thencoiled around the core, 1

and is finally sealed along its edge to produce an eflicient wrapper forthe box. Each end of the box, is of course sealed ina similar manner.The wrapper is then out along the line indicated by the numeral 8, forthe purpose of forming the lid, to be readily removed from the box, andit should be understood that only the wrapper is cut and not I the innercore, which is formed of stiflf cardboard or other suitable material.The cover, of course, may then be easily removed from the upper end ofthe core and the upper end ofthe core projects to formed the retainingflange 9, as shown clearly in Fig. 4 of the drawings. The entire box maythen be covis indicated by the numeral 10 in Fig. 2 and the hinged strip-11 is employed for hingedly securing the covering 2 upon the body ofthe box. A rear hinge retaining strip 12 is secured to the rear ends ofthe 'ered with suitable paper covering, such as box, and extendsthroughout the. entire 8 a core 13' is employed and a winding strip ofpaper 14 is wound around the core and suitable end plates 15 which carryadhesive strips 16 have their ends 17 overhanging the outer wrapper 18.The outer wrapper is then wound around the core and is sealed along itsouter end. The entire body is then covered by a suitable covering sheet19 of any suitable or desired'size. It should'be understood that thecore 13 is entirely independent of the core block 20, which may beinserted within the box to make. the same more rigid while the box isbeing manufactured.

It should be understood that the steps in the process of the box is asfollows: First' place the core block within a core strip and form thecore strip of suitable shape, then start the wrapper sheet around thecore strip, then place the end strips over the ends of thecore andsecure the end strips by means of adhesive material to the wrapperstrip, then wrap the entire wrapper strip around the core strip, andseal the edge thereof, then cut or trim the wrapper strip .around theentire body, until the entire strip and this outer strip 12 extendsthrough. the entire length of the box.

lVhat is claimed is I 1. A process for manufacturing paper boxes,comprising the placing of a core strip around a suitable core, thenstarting a wrapper strip around the core, then placing tw end stripsupon the core, then se'alingthese end strips to the wrapper sheet bymeans of adhesive sealing tape, then tightly winding said wrapper striparound said core str1p and sealing the edge thereof, then'cutting thewrapper at a predetermined point down to the core strip and thencovering the entire outer ends of the wrapper with a cov-' ering sheet.

2. A process for manufacturing paper boxes, comprising the placing of acore strip around a suitable core, then starting a wrapper strip aroundthe core, then placing two end strips upon the core, then sealing theseend strips to the wrapper sheet by means of adhesive sealing tape, thentightly winding said wrapper strip around said core strip and sealingthe edge thereof, then cutting the wrapper at a predetermined point downto the core strip and then coverlng the entire outer ends of the wrapperwith a covering sheet, then placing a hinged strip upon the rear ofsaidbox, for hingedly securing placing the cover strip over said hingedstrip throughoutthe entire length of said body In testimony whereof Ihereunto afiix my signature. a
